Science cannot Explain why a Psi Wheel Turns

This is the fifth post in my series on psi wheels.

In the first post, I discussed how everyone can measure the energy field surrounding their body with a psi wheel and how to use a psi wheel to measure this energy as you bring it into and through your body when you practice spiritual healing. In the second post, I discussed how the phenomenon of the psi wheel shows that the energy in the field surrounding the body is probably the same as the energy that flows through you when you give spiritual healing to another person. In the third post I discussed using qi gong to increase the flow of healing energy (qi) through your body to help develop your abilities as a spiritual healer. In the fourth post, I discussed how to use an Egely wheel (a very sensitive psi wheel manufactured by the Egely Research Company) to demonstrate that healing energy can be stored in inanimate objects.

In this fifth post, I will discuss the scientific research George Egely did that shows a psi wheel does not turn because of any known phenomenon such as heat, air currents, electricity or magnetism. Egely concluded that a psi wheel turns because of a different type of energy he called bioenergy.

George Egely, the inventor of the Egely wheel, worked on problems of energy transfer in nuclear power plants and he earned a Ph.D. in that subject. He later studied the phenomenon that causes the Egely wheel to turn. By conducting many different types of experiments, he ruled out heat, air currents, electricity, magnetism and any other normal explanation for the phenomenon. He found correlations with health and psychological factors which led him to use the term bioenergy to refer to the energy that causes the Egely wheel to rotate. His research on the Egely wheel phenomenon demonstrated the phenomenon cannot be explained by current scientific knowledge. This research is described at the Egely wheel web site in The story of the vitality meter. He also published his research in Experimental Investigation of Biologically Induced Energy Transport Anomalies, KFKI report, 1986-94/K.

The following is a summary of the information in the The Story of the Vitality Meter.

Summary of Experiments and Results

• Glass boxes were used to isolate the experimental system from wind which showed the rotation is not caused by air currents.
  
• Using gloves to thermally insulate the hand from the air, Egely showed that the rotation is not due to heat from the hand.
  
• Metal tanks shaped like a hand and filled with hot water did not cause appreciable rotation. This showed heat does not cause the rotation.
  
• Results from experiments involving an electrical apparatus that used a colored chemical solution to visualize the rotation ruled out wind, heat, electricity or magnetism as a cause of the rotation. These experiments also demonstrated an unknown phenomenon that caused the electrical resistance of the solution to change.
  
• The speed of rotation depended on how tired or fit the individual was. This ruled out heat and air currents because the phenomenon varied with the biological condition of the subject.
  
• Egely found weather fronts or worries reduced rotation. Once storm clouds passed, rotation increased immediately. He believed moods improved when this happened which showed the mind influences the phenomenon.
  
• Egely found ill people did not rotate the wheel well even if they had a fever which showed the rotation is not due to heat from the hands. People who were healthy and vibrant always caused good rotation. This also cannot be explained by heat or air currents.
  
• Egely found correlations with psychological factors such as meditation, scholastic achievement, physical attractiveness, worry, remote influence of one person over another. All these factors rule out normal explanations.
  
• Because health and psychological factors affected the rotation, Egely use the term bioenergy to describe the energy that causes the rotation. Egely believed bioenergy is conducted by all materials and that explained why an Egely wheel will not turn well inside a jar. The jar acts like a Faraday cage.
  

  UPDATE: For ease of reference I have included additional evidence not listed The Story of the Vitality Meter below:
  

  • Dr Parisetti described his experiences with a psi wheel here.
    
    • "Perhaps the warmth from my hand was heating the nearest part of the aluminium, which in turn would result in a tiny uplift air current, enough to make the wheel spin. To test that hypothesis, I dipped a spoon in boiling water to heat it up, placed it besides the wheel and could not detect any movement."
      
    • "...I reflected, air provides very good thermal insulation, and my hand would only be some 15 degrees warmer than the aluminium. So, the heat explanation doesn’t seem to hold up."
      
    • "I then started experimenting with means to block any possible direct influence from my hands to the wheel. I placed a transparent plastic CD jewel box between my right hand and the Egeli Wheel: this made no difference whatsoever - the wheel would still immediately start turning!"
      
    • "I’ve seem movies on the Internet in which people place the Egeli Wheel under a salad bowl, blow on it with a blow drier to show that there is no outside influence, and still, when they place their hand besides it, the wheel start turning."
      
  • It cannot be the hand channeling air flow that causes the wheel to spin because if there were a draft in the room, the wheel would spin when no hand was near it.
    
  • It cannot be heat from the hand causing a convection current with a horizontal component that causes the wheel to spin because if that were the case, the wheel would not be level. The side of the wheel in the rising air would be higher than the opposite side. Particularly with a home made psi-wheel, which is very sensitive to any air flow, you can tell if it is being affected by drafts or not.
    
  • When I place my hand near the edge of a table as if I was turning a psi-wheel but without a psi-wheel near it, and I hold a burning stick of incense below the edge of the table, the smoke rises smoothly without any indications of horizontal air flow. If the hand could produce a convection current with enough of a horizontal component to turn an homemade psi-wheel, it should easily influence the much lighter particles of smoke. I know that slight air currents can influence the smoke from the incense because if I then place an Egely wheel near my hand, its turning creates air currents that do influence the smoke.
    
  • When I place an Egely wheel near a red hot heating element on an electric stove, the Egely wheel barely moves and not in one direction continuously. Similarly, if I place an Egely wheel near a small tub or a latex glove filled with warm water at approximately body temperature, the wheel sometimes moves slowly but not continuously in one direction. When a hand is placed near the Egely wheel, once started, the wheel moves continuously in one direction and much more rapidly.
    
  • If I am sitting at a table turning a psi-wheel, and I move my hand away from the wheel, the wheel stops moving indicating there is no appreciable air flow near it. If a convection current caused by heat from my hand was causing the wheel to turn, surely the convection current from my entire body a few inches away would be much stronger and the wheel should continue to indicate some air flow by some type of movement. If my breath was causing the wheel to turn when my hand was near it, similarly the wheel should continue to indicate some air flow after I move my hand away.
    
  • If you are trying to prove that convection currents due to heat from the hand cause a psi-wheel to turn, it is very easy to fool yourself. This is because heat does cause convection currents that will have a horizontal component. As warm air is rises, air will flow horizontally towards the rising column to replace the rising air. Therefore it is definitely possible to construct a device that uses heat to create a horizontal air flow that can turn an psi-wheel. But the fact that such a device is possible does not prove that a psi-wheel turns when a hand is near it because of a convection current due to heat from the hand. You can blow on a psi-wheel to make it turn, but that does not prove the breath of the experimenter causes it to turn when a hand is placed near it.
    

    Egely made his conclusions that bioenergy moves the wheel partially based on experiments with many individuals. If you want to assert some phenomenon, such as convection currents, cause a psi-wheel to turn, you have to demonstrate that it can make the wheel turn under the same conditions and with the same characteristics (smooth, continuous, rapid turning) that a human hand will turn the wheel. You also have to do it with a the same type of psi-wheel. An experimental apparatus may be able to impart slight motion to an Egely wheel, but can it turn a homemade paper psi-wheel which has much more resistance to turning but which many people are able to turn by placing their hand near it?
    

    You also have to account for differences in the ability of different people to turn the wheel. If you think it is heat from the hand that causes the wheel to turn, you have to show a correlation between hand temperature in different people and rate of turning. A few people are not able to turn a psi-wheel, are their hands always cold? And you have to distinguish between correlation and causation. If you think heat is causing convection currents you have to prove it is the convection currents that are influencing the wheel, for example, by using smoke to visualize the convection currents without the presence of a psi-wheel to provide evidence that there is appreciable air flow moving in the direction and speed necessary to move the psi-wheel.
    

    If you don't do controls with humans, if you don't compare the phenomenon caused by laboratory apparatus to the phenomenon caused by a human, if you don't distinguish between correlation and causation, it is very easy to fool yourself into believing that you have found a physical explanation of the psi-wheel, when all you have done is, for instance, demonstrate the principle of buoyancy 2200 years after Archimedes did.
    

  • I have found that during the hot summer when my hand, the wheel, and the air are all approximately the same temperature, the wheel still turns. This rules out heat and convection currents.
    
  • I put a cotton wash cloth around my hand to provide thermal insulation and the wheel still turned. This rules out heat and convection currents.
    
  • If I use two wheels, one near each hand, they turn slower than one alone. If I use one wheel and place my other hand near a second wheel, the first wheel slows down as the second speeds up. This is not explained by heat, convection currents, or drafts.
    
  • I and many other people have enough power coming from our hands to turn a wheel covered by some type of container. This rules out air currents as an explanation for the rotation.
    
  • I find that I can "magnetize" a plastic jar so that it will turn a wheel without my hand near it. The direction of rotation is always the same depending on which hand was used to magnetize the jar even though the jar is a symmetrical cylinder. This rules out any normal explanation including heat, convection currents, drafts, electricity, and magnetism.
    
  • When turning a home made psi-wheel for several minutes by placing my hand near it, I often feel a snapping sensation in my hand and sometimes I can feel the vane on the wheel as it passes my hand even though it does not touch my hand. Others have also reported the snapping sensation. This is evidence there is an unknown phenomenon occurring that has nothing to do with heat convection.
    

If you want to show a certain phenomenon, such as drafts or heat, can cause a psi-wheel to turn, you should use a certain type of psi-wheel depending on the conditions of your demonstration. If you want to show a certain phenomenon will cause a psi-wheel to turn, you must show that phenomenon can cause a home made psi-wheel made of paper to turn because that is the hardest psi-wheel to turn. If you want to show a psi-wheel will not turn under certain conditions, even with a hand near it, you must show an Egely wheel will not turn in those condition because an Egely wheel is the easiest psi-wheel to turn.

Any theory that tries to explain what causes a psi wheel to turn by means of some ordinary phenomena such as heat, convection, or drafts must also explain all the evidence that shows none of those explanations are possible. Some people will find a condition where the wheel does not turn and proclaim that condition prevents, for example, air currents. This is not proof that air currents cause the wheel to turn. There may be another phenomenon the same conditions inhibits that is the real cause of rotation. Unless they can explain all these forms of evidence that show it is not air currents, they have not proved anything.

Overview of Experiments by George Egely

Egely believes the energy that causes the rotation, which he calls bioenergy, is conducted by all materials. That is why if you cover the Egely wheel with a jar, the jar acts like a Faraday cage, the bioenergy is conducted by the jar, it does not penetrate inside it.

Egely first started experimenting with water in a dish and put small pieces of aluminum foil on the surface of the water. The aluminum would rotate when a hand was placed next to the dish. He tried wearing gloves that would reduce heat transmission from his hand. The aluminum would rotate even if there was no temperature difference between the surface of the glove and the air. This ruled out heat transmission as an explanation of the phenomenon.

In the mid 1980's Egely developed the Egely Wheel and had dozens of friends try his apparatus. Most people were able to rotate both the water apparatus and the Egely Wheel. He found, "The speed of the rotation depended on how tired or fit they were and how much they could or could not concentrate." This shows that the phenomenon is not due to air currents, it varies with the biological condition of the subject.

Egely found the temperature of the hand did not influence the speed of rotation. Then he tried using hand shaped metal tanks and found that putting hot water in them did not cause rotation beyond 10% of what a real hand could cause. This also ruled out heat transfer to explain the phenomenon.

Using a complex electro-chemical apparatus that allowed him to visualize the movement inside the liquid by a change of color, he showed that the phenomenon could not be caused by wind or heat. He also found that during the phenomenon the electrical resistance of the liquid changed. This cannot be explained by any known phenomenon.

Egely used glass boxes to isolate the apparatus from the wind to show that air currents were not the cause.

Egely did experiments with 500 high school students the liquid rotated fast with one third of them. Another one third could rotate the apparatus slowly, and another 1/3 could not rotate the apparatus significantly.

Other experiments showed that a weather front or worries could inhibit rotation in people who would otherwise rotate the system very well. Good weather, and good moods correlated with good rotation. After rain and clouds passes, he says, people cheered up, and the results improved immediately, before any appreciable change in humidity or hand temperature could occur. This showed there was something in the human mind that effected the phenomenon.

Calculations showed that electricity and magnetism could not explain the rotation.

After all these experiments the real nature and cause of the rotation still remained a puzzle, I just could not decide what kind of an energy transfer might be the reason for it. I made calculations, but for the liquid to reach an angular speed of one revolution per minute, which is a good result, it would have to be very salty. The magnetic field would have to be a hundred times stronger than that of the Earth, or the person must have submerged his/her hand in the water, and a direct current of lethal power would have had to flow between his/her fingers. But, none of these four conditions were met during experiments. So, to find the answer to this problem some hypothesis had to be drawn about things unknown so far.

Egely found, "Extrovert, positive thinking, active, leading-type students had much higher vitality levels, and could maintain this level for a longer period than their quiet, restrained, silent, negative thinking, shy classmates. Experience showed the interesting fact that good-looking teenage girls were influenced by their beauty. Probably, they got more encouragement, or positive signs than their less lucky mates, so they had higher scores."

Egely also found, "In a strange way, vitality did not strongly depend on grades. Although students with good grades had vitality values generally above the average and this tended to be even higher if they were playing sports, the most outstanding results were achieved not by the good pupils."

After testing thousands of people and recording written records of about 1100, he found that seriously ill people could not rotate the wheel well, even if they had a fever which shows the phenomenon is not due to heat from the hands.

Healers or successful businessmen would get good rotation. sick people could hardly move the wheel and vibrant healthy people always had good rotation. These observations were consistent over many, many observations and could not be explained by chance.

Other observations included:

I experienced the highest vitality values, above 100%, with students who could not always fit in with the tight school regulations, but showed great interest towards the different forms of meditations and had close relation to their friends, took care of them, and had charisma. If they were a few meters from the one who just measured, the results were definitely better. To tell the truth, they could also make it worse if I asked them to do so. In this case, the vitality value of the one measuring himself/herself decreased to a great extent. To produce this result they did not have to touch the other person, it was enough to use their willpower. This was again an important reason for me to accept the reality of this phenomenon. It showed also that many people have known and all of us used this energy, even without knowing it, for a long time, still it has remained unexplained. We have also tried to see if two, three or more people together could reach a higher score than separately, i.e. if their vitality sums up. To some extent the resulting vitality level was really higher, but not significantly. As if discharged batteries were connected parallel. In some cases two or three people together reached a lower level of vitality than separately, when they did not know or did not like each other. Interpersonal relation, the mere fact of somebody standing beside or behind us, may influence results considerably.

Objects That Contain Healing Power

This is the fourth post in my series on psi wheels.

In the first post, I discussed how everyone can measure the energy field surrounding their body with a psi wheel and how to use a psi wheel to measure this energy as you bring it into and through your body when you practice spiritual healing. In the second post, I discussed how the psi wheel shows that the energy in the field surrounding the body is the same as the energy that flows through you when you give spiritual healing to another person. In the third post I discussed using qi gong to increase the flow of healing energy (qi) through your body to help develop your abilities as a spiritual healer.

In this post I will discuss how to use an Egely wheel (a very sensitive psi wheel manufactured by the Egely Research Company) to demonstrate that healing energy can be stored in inanimate objects.

(The Videos shown below are only provided to illustrate the apparatus and phenomena that I have written about for those who are interested and who may want to try reproduce it themselves. The videos are too short in length and too close to the subject to be considered as proof of the phenomena. Since it is impossible to proving anything with a video, I have no plans to make more convincing videos. The proof of the phenomena will come when others reproduce them. One of the phenomena, turning a psi wheel covered by a jar by placing a hand on the jar, has been reported by many others. I am not aware of anyone else who has reported the second phenomenon: using the jar by itself to turn the wheel.)

When I first learned spiritual healing at a Spiritualist church I was taught that a healer can put healing energy into an inanimate object and then if another person holds that object, the healing energy will be transferred to the other person. I was able to test and confirm part of this belief using an Egely wheel. I was doing a healing meditation and monitoring the flow of healing energy with an Egely Vitality Meter. This is a very sensitive psi wheel. To be totally certain that no air currents were influencing the wheel I used a jar turned upside down to cover the wheel. The jar was made out of plastic, recycle number 1, PETE. I put my hand on the jar to spin the wheel. This is a very inefficient way to turn a psi wheel and the wheel turns much slower when covered with a jar - which is why I use the more sensitive Egely wheel when doing this rather than my homemade psi wheels. While this was occurring, I took the following video of it:

After meditating this way for twenty minutes, ten minutes with each hand turning the Egely wheel under the jar, I tried an experiment to see if the jar had retained any healing energy. I took away the jar covering the Egely wheel and waited for it to stop turning. Then I placed the jar near the wheel and took my hand away from it. The Egely wheel began to turn. While I did this, I took the video of it shown below. After several rotations I moved the jar away from the wheel and it soon stopped turning. I put the jar near it again and it began to turn once more. Another time, I let the jar turn the wheel for ten minutes. This length of time would rule out the possibility that the motion was caused by air currents created when the jar was placed near the wheel. I then took the jar away and the wheel stopped turning after a few seconds. Since the wheel stopped turning when the jar was removed, it is unlikely that air currents could be the cause of the movement of the wheel when the jar was next to it. I put the jar back and the wheel resumed turning and continued to turn for several minutes until I stopped the experiment.

This phenomenon is consistent with another observation about psi wheels. Psi wheels seem to turn in the opposite direction when they are under a jar than when they are uncovered and exposed directly to a hand. Usually, a psi wheel will turn clockwise when the left hand is placed near it and counterclockwise when the right hand is placed near it. However, if a jar is placed over the wheel, the wheel will turn clockwise when the right hand is placed near it and counterclockwise when the left hand is placed near it. This phenomenon suggests that the wheel is not turning inside the jar because some force field from the hand penetrates the jar, but because the force field from the hand induces a field in the jar - like two gears that turn in opposite directions when their teeth mesh. Interestingly the Egely wheel (and a home psi wheel to a lesser extent) is shaped like a gear. If a field is induced in the jar, it seems possible that the jar might retain the field once the hand was taken away as if it was magnetized (a la Franz Mesmer). This would explain why the jar without a hand near it would also cause the psi wheel to turn, whereas if it was simply the energy from the hand penetrating the jar that turned a covered wheel, that would not explain why a jar could turn a wheel without a hand near it.

These observations seem to confirms the belief that healing energy can be stored in inanimate objects. There is some scientific evidence in this area. Dean Radin published an article, Effects of Intentionally Enhanced Chocolate on Mood in the Elsevier journal Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing, Volume 3, Issue 5, Pages 433-546 (September 2007), which describes how chocolate which had been prayed over elevated the mood of the people who ate it.

Update 9/5/12: I tried a slightly different experiment today. First I placed the plastic jar near the Egely wheel to make sure it did not have any residual "magnetism". Then, I did the healing meditation for five minutes turning two homemade psi wheels, one with each hand. Next, I stopped using any psi wheel and continued meditating with my right hand on the plastic jar in the same position as if it had the Egely wheel under it but without the wheel. After ten minutes with my hand on the jar, I placed the jar next to a stationary Egely wheel and took my hand away. The wheel began to spin counterclockwise and continued to turn until I moved the jar away after five minutes, then the wheel stopped turning.

Spiritual Healing Development with Qi Gong

This is the third post in my series on spiritual healing and the psi wheel. In the first post, I discussed how everyone can measure the energy field surrounding their body with a psi wheel and how to use a psi wheel to measure this energy as you bring it into and through your body when you practice spiritual healing. In the second post, I discussed how the psi wheel shows that the energy in the field surrounding the body is the same as the energy that flows through you when you give spiritual healing to another person. This post is about using qi gong to increase the flow of healing energy (qi) through your body to help develop your abilities as a spiritual healer.

You don't have take my word for it when I write these different statements about this energy. You can verify them for yourself using a psi wheel. You can measure the effects of qi gong on your energy field and your ability to move the energy through your body during spiritual healing by using a psi wheel before and after you do qi gong and during spiritual healing.

Qi gong is a part of traditional Chinese medicine. It includes exercises that enhance the energy field that surrounds your body and it improves the flow of that energy through your body. Since spiritual healing works by moving this energy through your body and into another person, doing qi gong will help you to develop your healing abilities and it is also a good way to prepare for a spiritual healing session.

From wikipedia:

Qigong, chi kung, or chi gung (literally "Life Energy Cultivation") is a practice of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation.[1] With roots in Chinese medicine, martial arts, and philosophy, qigong is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance qi (chi) or what has been translated as "intrinsic life energy".[2] Typically a qigong practice involves rhythmic breathing coordinated with slow stylized repetition of fluid movement, a calm mindful state, and visualization of guiding qi through the body.[3]

Below are instructions for a few qi gong exercises. I suggest doing eight repetitions of the moving exercises and holding the stationary positions for at least twenty breaths. There is no harm in doing more and you can do as much as you like. But for some people who are very busy, if they try to do too much it will become burdensome and they may give it up. It is better to do just a little bit than to do none at all.

• Three Jiaos: HTML PDF
  

• Lower Ball Rotation: Stand as in the Three Jiaos. Hold your hands at the level of your lower abdomen as if you were holding a ball about six or eight inches in diameter between your hands. Then rotate the "ball" clockwise so your left had is above your right hand. Then rotate the ball the other way so the right hand is above the left hand. Repeat this for several repetitions and synchronize the movement with your breathing. Notice the sensations in your hands.
  

• The Full Circle: The web page says to do each position in The Full Circle for five minutes but I suggest in your first session you hold each position for twenty breaths and gradually increase that number if you want to in subsequent sessions. Twenty breaths is approximately one minute, you can time your breathing before you start if you want to be more precise. These exercises are similar to the qi gong exercises described in the book 15-minute Tai Chi (below).
  

• Pulling Down the Heavens: There are several exercises similar to this one that you can do. Instead of raising you arms above your head, bring them to the forehead for several repetitions, then to the heart for several repetitions and then to the abdomen just below the navel for several repetitions. Then do the exercise shown at the link raising your arms straight above your head.
  

When you do qi gong exercises, notice the sensations you feel in your hands and your body. Try to feel your own energy field from within the body and also feel it from without your body with your hands. For example, if your hands pass across the area of your chest, notice sensations in your chest and the sensations in your hands as they pass through the energy field around your chest. Practicing in this way may allow you, in time, to develop the sensitivity needed to feel your own energy field and the energy fields surrounding other living things.

These exercises are just suggestions to introduce you to qi gong. A complete qi gong workout that will provide the maximum benefit to your energy field and flow of energy through you should include warm-up stretches to loosen the muscles and movements to loosen the joints, tone the muscles, and align the vertebrae. If you want to try a more complete workout that includes all of these components I would suggest one of these DVDs:

• Chi Energy Workouts for Beginners by David Carradine
  

• David Carradine's AM & PM Tai Chi Workout for Beginners by David Carradine
  

  Tai Chi Focus Relax Rejuvenate on youtube.
  

Chi is the same word as qi but spelled differently. Some of the advanced movements on the DVDs are complicated and may be difficult to learn but it is not necessary to do everything on a DVD (this is also true of the books below). The AM workout in the AM & PM DVD is very simple but is a complete workout.

Some books on qi gong I recommend are:

• 15-Minute Tai Chi by John Ding and Alan Ding. This book includes several 15 minute workouts that include qi gong and tai chi. I combine all the qi gong exercise together and do those as part of my qi gong workout. They are very similar to the full circle linked to above.
  
• Becoming One with Nature: Restore Yourself with Tai Chi by Martin Lee, Ph.D., Emily Lee, TC Master, Melinda & Joyce Lee
  
• The Complete Idiot's Guide to T'ai Chi and QiGong Third Edition by Bill Douglas. See Part 3 which is about QiGong.
  

You can measure the effects of qi gong on your energy field by using the psi wheel. Notice if the psi wheel spins faster after you do qi gong than it spins before you do qi gong. Also notice if the psi wheel spins faster during spiritual healing practice if you do qi gong immediately before the spiritual healing practice.

The Psi Wheel and Spiritual Healing: What Does it Mean?

The Psi Wheel and Spiritual Healing: What Does it Mean?

Yesterday I posted about How to Use a Psi Wheel to Practice Spiritual Healing. That post has significant implications:

1. The human body is surrounded by an energy field.
   
2. This energy field can influence matter.
   
3. The healing energy used in spiritual healing is probably the same type of energy.
   
4. This energy can be controlled with the mind. The method of control is unknown because the precise nature of the energy is unknown. The manner of mental control might be something ordinary like the way the mind can control muscles, or it might be something more paranormal.
   

The phenomenon of the psi wheel turning when a hand is placed near it is something that occurs with almost everyone and no effort or intention is necessary for the wheel to turn. This has been shown by George Egely. Egely received a Ph.D. in the field of energy transfer and he conducted extensive research and could not find any scientific explanation for this. The phenomenon indicates that the human body is surrounded by an energy field and that energy field can influence matter and cause the wheel to turn.

During my experimentation with a psi wheel, I discovered that performing a spiritual healing meditation increases the effect that causes the psi wheel to turn. During my experiments, I made no intention to spin the psi wheel. When I performed the spiritual healing meditation, I only visualized the healing energy flowing through me and out from my hands. I made no conscious thought or mental effort toward making the wheel turn. The fact that visualizing this energy emanating from my hand increased the rate at which the wheel turned when my hand was placed near the wheel suggests that the energy involved in spiritual healing is the same type of energy that always surrounds the body and that during spiritual healing, this energy is emitted in greater amounts than normal. This is also consistent with the observation by Egely that people who are ill are less able to spin a psi wheel.

All of this suggests several areas for further research:

• Studies could be done to look for a correlation between the rate of rotation a healer can induce in an Egely wheel (a psi wheel with electronics that measure the rate of spin) and positive outcomes of their healing sessions. If a correlation can be shown experimentally, then the Egely wheel could be used in future research to quantify the amount of healing applied by a healer. It also might provide a way to rate healers and that information could be useful to patients looking for spiritual healing practitioners.
  
• The position of the wheel with respect to the body seems to affect the rate of spin. The wheels seem to spin faster when off to the side and not directly in front of the user. This suggests that spiritual healers may be more effective if they hold their hands out to their sides rather than directly in front of their torso. If this effect could be shown experimentally to improve healing, this knowledge could be used by all energy healers to improve the treatments they give to their patients.
  
• Some people report the ability to turn a psi wheel without using their hands. Many energy healers can give healings without being in the same location as the recipient of healing. Experiments could be done to determine if these two abilities are the same. If they are not the same phenomenon, it would still be interesting to learn if the ability to turn a psi wheel without placing the hand near it also has healing properties when applied to a patient.
  
• Another question for experimental research is where does the energy that moves the psi wheel come from? In the spiritual healing I do, the energy is believed to come from outside the healer. If it could be shown by measuring the metabolic rate of a healer, that their metabolism cannot account for the work involved in turning the psi wheel, then that could support the belief that the healing energy comes from outside the healer.

Using a Psi Wheel to Practice Spiritual Healing.

You can make a simple device that will respond to spiritual healing energy. You can use this device to practice and develop your ability to do spiritual healing.

The device is called a psi wheel. It is a small pinwheel that will turn when you place your hand near it but without touching it. You can make one easily yourself, or you can purchase one. Science cannot explain why a psi wheel turns when you place your hand near it, or when it is inside a jar or how a jar can be magnetized to turn a psi wheel without placing your hand near it.

Here is how to make a psi wheel:

You will need:

• Aluminum foil (some people use paper but I find aluminum foil works much better than paper).
  
• An eraser
  
• A needle
  
• A ruler
  
• Scissors
  

Use the scissors to cut a square piece of aluminum foil two inches on a side.

Fold it in half horizontally.

Fold it in half vertically.

Turn it over.

Fold it diagonally to the right.

Fold it diagonally to the left.

Now there are 8 creases radiating from the center of the square.

Fold each crease to create a diamond with four vanes.

Then unfold it a little bit to get the final pin wheel.

Push the eye of the needle into the eraser so the needle stands vertically with the point up.

Place the pinwheel on the tip of the needle.

Now that you've completed your psi wheel, try it out.

• Sit at a desk or table away from anything that might create drafts such as an open window, fan, or air vent. Stray air currents might cause the psi wheel to move and would mask the effects of your hand.
  
• If you want to use your right hand, put the psi wheel on the table a few inches to your right. If you want to use your left hand, put it on the table a few inches to your left. A psi wheel will respond to your hand better if it is not directly in front of your torso and if neither your hand or arm is directly in front of your torso.
  
• Place the palm of your hand near the wheel (see the video below). Try to sit with your neck, shoulder, and arm relaxed. You may find it comfortable, if your chair has armrests, to put the wheel and your hand near the edge of table and your elbow on the armrest of the chair.
  
• Getting the psi wheel to turn does not require any special powers. It should work for most people without any effort on their part beyond putting their hand near it. At first, it is usually best if you don't think about it or look at it or try to do anything to make it turn. Worrying about whether it will turn may have a negative effect. Try meditating with your eyes closed or reading something and after a minute or so look at the wheel to see if it is turning. The wheel will usually turn counter clockwise if you use your right hand and clockwise if you use your left hand. Once you experience it turning for a little while you will probably be able to watch it without inhibiting it.
  

If the wheel doesn't start turning after a minute or so, check the following:

Technical Issues:

• Gently bump the wheel with your finger to make sure it spins freely and is balanced on the needle. Make sure the bottom points of the wheel do not bump into the eraser.
  
• Try moving the wheel a little bit on the tip of the needle. This can be particularly helpful if the wheel turns one way and then the other repeatedly without completing a full revolution, or if the wheel slows down at the same point in every rotation. That type of behavior means the wheel is not balanced correctly and you can try to improve the balance by moving the wheel slightly with respect to the tip of the needle.
  
• Be sure the psi wheel is not directly in front of your torso but is a few inches off to the side and use the hand on the same side of your body.
  
• Make sure the wheel is not bumping into or in contact with your hand.
  
• If the table or desk you are using is cluttered and there are objects, particularly metal objects, computer equipment, or electronic gadgets, near your hand, move them several inches away from your hand.
  
• Try cutting out another piece of aluminum foil, make another wheel, and try that one.
  

Energy Field Issues:

• Try relaxing your hand, or straightening your fingers, or spreading your fingers for a second or two.
  
• Try putting the psi wheel on the other side of your body and using your other hand.
  
• Go out for a walk for twenty minutes to an hour and try the psi wheel when you get back. Or, try some other type of mild exercise. This is probably the most important suggestion on this list, it is best way for a beginner to quickly increase his energy field.
  
• Do qi gong exercises to strengthen your energy field.
  
• If you are sleepy, fatigued, hungry, or ill, the wheel might not spin. Try later when you are feeling stronger.
  

If you can't get a homemade psi wheel to work, purchasing one at the link above may be a good alternative. The commercial ones turn with much less friction and are much easier to use. Reading the instructions for the Egely Wheel may also help you get your homemade wheel working. This article by Dr. Parisetti, which describes his experience learning to use a psi wheel, may also be helpful.

To use the psi wheel to practice spiritual healing, first you have to learn spiritual healing. My web site explains how to do that. I also suggest you read my article on A Synthesis of Spiritual Healing and Qi Gong which describes a good technique for improving your ability to use healing energy.

To use the psi wheel to practice spiritual healing, sit at a desk or table and imagine the spiritual healing energy coming down into you through the top of your head. Understand that the energy flows though your arms and out your hands, maintain loving intentions if possible, but your concentration should be primarily on the energy coming into you from above.

You can repeat a prayer such as one of these:

• Oh God, please move healing energy through me to where it's needed for the highest good.
  

• May the light of God heal and bless the world.
  

As you do this, place your hand near the psi wheel. If you have two psi wheels, you can use one with each hand (but they will probably turn slower than one alone so you may want to get some practice first before you try this with two wheels). It is usually better to close your eyes since thinking about the wheels will distract you from the healing meditation. However you can peek once in a while to see if the wheels are turning.

You should find that if you concentrate on the healing meditation, the psi wheel will turn, but if your mind wanders or you stop the flow of energy through your hands, the wheel will slow down or stop. Practicing this way should help you improve your concentration and develop your ability as a spiritual healer.

If you try using two psi wheels, one near each hand, and find one turns much faster than the other, or one does not turn at all, try the following:

• Try just one psi wheel, and use it with the slow or stopped hand. Once it begins to turn well, try going back to two wheels.
  
• If you are sleepy, fatigued, hungry, or ill try later when you are feeling stronger.
  
• The problem may be due to a misalignment in the vertebrae of the neck. The nerves that go from the brain to the hand pass through the vertebrae of the neck. A misalignment in the neck vertebrae can adversely affect those nerves and reduce the hand's ability to turn a psi wheel. If you sometimes have discomfort in your neck, that could be a symptom of misaligned vertebrae. Try doing some gentle stretches to loosen the neck muscles: Move your head by looking up and then down several times. Then then tilt your head to the left and to the right several times. Then look to the left and to the right several times. A chiropractor can make a diagnosis and suggest exercises to help maintain correct alignment of the neck vertebrae.
  

When you are done with a session, you can store your psi wheels in an upside down jar. Place your psi wheels on the upside down lid and place the wheels on the lid. Then screw the upside down jar over them. This will allow them to be transported easily and protect them from damage and it will protect people from being accidentally stuck by the needles.
